Poster produced by London North & Eastern Railway (LNER) to promote rail services to Skegness.

Artwork by John Hassall, who has been called the first great railway poster artist. He was educated at Worthing School and Newton Abbot College and later studied in Antwerp and Paris. He moved to Canada but later returned to England where he started the New Art School and School of Poster design. He designed posters for the Great Northern Railway (GNR) and numerous other clients.
